Happy Friday! Today I released a fun new freebie as part of my free Lettering Toolkit: 36 Ampersands Practice Sheets. You can learn four dozen different styles of everyone’s favorite glyph: the ampersand. From flourished to minimalist, there’s a style for every application here!
My Friday video is a real-time demonstration of me practicing the ampersands. You can watch me use a variety of Procreate brushes to create the various styles and sizes:
If you need some fresh calligraphy brushes for your toolkit, I made these practice sheets with the pointed pen and monoline brushes from my Ultimate Lettering & Calligraphy Procreate Kit. For a list of the specific brushes I used, download the sheets and check out page 2 of the packet.
